Dictated

[deductiongeek]

I am never going near one of the castle's mirrors again. The same for books out of place or any of these other traps the castle leaves for us.

This entire place is ridiculous! There is clearly some kind of logic here, but it has been twisted and broken so much that it would be easy to mistake it for nothing more than insanity.

They are painting the roses and playing croquet with live animals and running races that have no beginning or end. I really don't know how much more of this I can take.

[A familiar giggle. One that Conan probably wished he'd go the rest of his time in Wonderland without hearing again.]

We were painting the roses. Then Nora got bored and started painting the leaves instead.

I'm surprised a little detective like you missed that.

[She clearly doesn't realize how right she is about the detective thing. Just teasing him, as usual.]

{ooc: Couldn't resist. Conan is so going to hate Rise when they finally meet in Paradisa. xD}

They are going to have the best CR

[deductiongeek]

...That really doesn't help at all.

[Not the fairy again.]

[therealrisette]

[She answers back with a playfully dramatic tone.]

Oh, I'm sorry! Was it meant to?

[deductiongeek]

You do know that painting the leaves of plants will only block the sunlight from reaching them and eventually kill the plant?

[therealrisette]

But they looked pretty, didn't they?

[She doesn't seem to care much. The Queen ordered it, after all. What else were the fairies to do?]

[deductiongeek]

Pretty is not the word I would use.

[therealrisette]

[She chooses to interpret this entirely differently from how it was meant. He couldn't have intended to insult Nora's beautiful work, after all!]

Which word would you choose, then? Stunning? Striking? Avant-Garde?

... Is that one word or two?

[It's also entirely possible she doesn't even know what that last one even means.]

[deductiongeek]

Avant-garde is the best choice out of those!

[therealrisette]

There, see? I knew you liked it!

[If one looked very carefully, they might see a missed point flying over the little fairy's head. Conan can probably see it even over the journal.]

[deductiongeek]

[Well, that took all the fun out of it. Now he was feeling a little guilty.]
